Starting a new project

The time has to create a piece of art as a Christmas present. This year's recipient is one of my closest friends. It has been over a year or two since she started a hobby known as hard live action role play, or harping for short and has developed quite a character. For Christmas, she told me that she would like a fire inspired painting as a gift from me. So, I thought what better centre piece of the work than that of the fiery alter ego of hers. Now that the character is drawn, the real fun begins. 

Just some Fine Tuning

I spent some time working with Photoshop today, just putting together the shield design for a friend's wedding gift. The only change that my friend wanted, was to add the Arabic symbol for her last name onto the Venus symbol that I had designed for her side of the shield. It took a bit of searching, but I eventually found it. Other than a bit of fine tuning, I sort of like how it came out.

New Project Research

Sometimes when I'm planning out a project, especially if it is for a certain reciepant, I like to find inspirations first. These range from styles, meanings, colours and layouts, all which will help me in development of my piece. The images you see currently are for a gift that I'm planning for a dear friend who has a special event in her future.
